The line passing through the extremity A of the major axis and extremity B of the minor axis of the ellipse x2+9y2=9 meets its auxiliary circle at the point M. Then, the area of the triangle with vertices at A, M and the origin O is
  1. 3110
  2. 2910
  3. 2110
  4. 2710

Solution

Equation of auxiliary circle is

x2+y2=9   ..i

Equation of AM is x3+y1=1   ...ii

On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

M-125,95

Now, area of ΔAOM=12OA×MN=2710 sq units

Hence, option (d) is correct.
